Men are often dissatisfied with the size of their penis, which results in mental discomfort and complexes in the field of sexual life. In order to increase self-esteem and improve sexual relations with a partner, the male population resorts to penis enlargement.
Modern medicine offers the following methods for penis enlargement:
- ligamentotomy - lengthening of the penis;
- lipofilling - thickening of the penis.
To determine whether surgery to lengthen or thicken the penis is necessary, you should consult a specialist. You must undergo an examination and tell your doctor about your problem and the desired result.
Penis extension
Ligamentotomy (penis enlargement) is a surgical operation in which the ligament that holds the penis in the perineum is cut, i. e. the free part of the penis is enlarged by reducing the hidden part (the part inside the body of the penis). . Before the operation, you must undergo a number of tests (urine and blood tests, hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, EKG tests) and consult an anesthesiologist (since the operation is performed under general anesthesia, it takes about an hour). After the operation, it is necessary to wear an extender for 2-3 months (a special device that allows not only to consolidate the result of the operation, but also prevents the formation of adhesions, promotes the physiological growth of membranes and tissues. the penis). In addition, you must carefully follow the rules of personal hygiene and observe certain precautions (restriction of physical activity, sexual abstinence, etc. ).
Penis thickening
Lipofilling (penis thickening) is the injection of fat tissue into the penis in order to increase its diameter and give it the desired shape. The fat tissues that are removed by liposuction from areas causing excessive deposition (abdomen, buttocks, etc. ) must belong directly to the patient. This helps to avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions, which are observed when a foreign implant is inserted. Adipose tissue is injected into the penile micropunctures, followed by a surgical patch and a bandage on top. In the postoperative period, the main requirement is abstinence from sexual intercourse. The disadvantage of this method is that the transplanted adipose tissue tends to dissolve as it is deprived of the blood vessels that feed it. As a result, the tissue can dissolve unevenly and this leads to deformation of the penis.
